IN.DAT info for DCLL:
Select DCLL model
iblanket = 5 * DCLL
Liquid Metal Breeder Material = PbLi
i_bb_liq = 0 * Liquid Metal Breeder Material = PbLi
Specify dual-coolant i.e., get mass flow required from heat extracted from liqid metal breeder
icooldual = 2
FIC switch: 0 = no FIC, Eurofer; 1 = FCIs, perfect electrical insulator, 2 = FCIs, with specified conductance
ifci = 0, 1, or 2
Liquid metal duct wall conductance initilized at Eurofer value in fwbs_variables, or can input other value, used for ifci = 0 or 2
(bz_channel_conduct_liq)
Choose if FW and BB structure are on the same pumping system (unless have diffent coolants), default is same coolant with flow IN->FW->BB->OUT
(ipump)
Can set inlet and oulet temperature for liquid metal breeder
(inlet_temp_liq)
(outlet_temp_liq)
